Review text

This paper analyzes a few astronomical tables from the zīj of Ibn Waqār contained in the Ms. Munich heb. 230, related to the solar motion; the lunar anomaly and double elongation; and the solar yearly revolution. Ibn Waqār was a physician and astronomer from the second half of 14th century who lived in Toledo. After some analysis the tables are attributed to Ibn Ṣā\(^c\)id al-Andalusī (1029-1070) and Ibn Isḥāq al-Tūnisī (working in Morroco at the beginning of the 13th century). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0855.00012].
